La Boca are a London based studio, specialising in art & design for the film, music and fashion industries. Their portfolio is a bold blend of psychedelic colour, geometric shapes with a healthy dose of surrealism, as seen here, in the award winning sleeve art for Muse.
A snapshot of the past in Bec Winnel's dreamy fashion flashback.
The illustration is currently gracing the front cover of Mecca, a Melbourne based fashion magazine created by Madeline Boyd as part of her dissertation. Bec’s job was to take a trip down memory lane to create this front cover for the nostalgia issue, also within the pages is an interesting profile on the artist herself.

This eye grabbing piece of work comes from the talented fingertips of Masha Karpushina.
Commissioned by EMI for their production music branch KPM to create a CD cover for Indie Movie House, Masha's unique style was perfect for the brief. The cover required a quirky indie feel and to be representative of the music inside.
